6.automatic Load Sharing of Transformer

This document describes a project to automatically share loads between two transformers to prevent overloading. When the load on the main transformer exceeds its rating, a relay connects a second, sharing transformer in parallel to distribute the load between the two transformers. The microcontroller monitors the current and disconnects the sharing transformer once the load decreases below the rating of the main transformer. This process protects transformers from damage or failure due to overloading.

AUTOMATIC LOAD SHARING OF TRANSFORMER

AIM:

The main aim of this project is to protect the transformer from failing or damage having applied
more loads on it & share these over loads with another transformer.

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this project is to provide a secured environment for the transformers from
over loads which are distributing power to certain regions. These transformers with over load are
protected by sharing these over loads with another transformer.

DESCRIPTION:

Automatic load sharing of transformers is an integral part of the power control process,
allowing smooth and immediate transfer of electrical current between multiple sources and the
load. Here we are using two transformers TF1 (Main transformer) and TF2 (sharing
transformer). The transfers switch senses when utility power is increases more than rating of
transformer1, then starts up the transformer TF2 which acts as a sharing transformer. The
transfer switch continues to monitor utility power, and when it is less than the rating of TF1 then
sharing transformer will cutoff from load and switches the load from the Transformer TF2 back
to the Main transformer TF1. Once the Transformer TF2 is disconnected, it goes through a cool-
down routine and is automatically shut down.
The objective of the present project “Automatic load sharing of Transformers” is to
satisfy the above needs with an extent. The present system is designed around two transformers.
One transformer (TF1) is used as the main supply and the other transformer (TF2) is used as
sharing transformer. These two transformers are connected with the relay which is controlled by
the embedded controller. The loads are connected to the main line (TF1) and as well as to the
TF2 through relay.
Initially TF1 is connected to the load, the loads run with this power. If the load on
transformer 1 is increase beyond its rating then controller will find out that and it will connect
the sharing transformer parallel to the main transformer. When we connect two transformers in
parallel load will be shared by two transformers equally. And controller will continuously
monitor the current flowing in the load and when the load current decreases below the TF1 rating
then it will turn off the sharing transformer.
Here we are using CT for measuring the load current and the output of CT is given to
ADC for converting analog output of CT into digital data. That ADC output is given to
microcontroller for monitoring purpose. When current are increases certain limit then we are
going to on the sharing transformer.

HARDWARE USED:
● MICRO CONTROLLER
● POWER SUPPLY
● TRANSFORMERS
● RELAY
● LCD DISPLAY

RESULT:
Hence, by using this project we can avoid brakeage or failing of transformers from over
load by connecting these overloads to other section of transformer so that the transformer can
constantly distribute power to the required regions.
